more things from show

Ok, so this is just a bag...but how cool is that?  It's just CUTE!  It's big too, like grocery size.....which, I think, is what I will be using it for.

This is the project from my PRIMA class with "Fire and Ice" Michelle Van Etten and Trisha Ladouceur...they designed the "Build a Book" albums.  Very cool concept.   

My business card.  Isn't it cute...designed it myself at Vista Print (for a whole lot less).   All three of us had the same design.

Ok, so that is a lame set of photos, but these are some of those little behind the scenes things that I enjoyed.  I am still waiting on the ones from someone else's camera.....scary stuff...lol

More pix from the show

This is my T!M haul  from class.....I forgot about the stamps (how could I forget those!!) Glossy Accents, a white pen (this pen is AWESOME!!!!), the foam thingy (which has a name I can't remember), a stamper and the scraper...the project itself was not highly exciting but it has all the techniques on one ring with the instructions right on the back....how easy is that to display at the store with the product!!

My badge holder...it's kinda like wearing art.  I got many more button this year than last....so fun!  We got a cute pink and chocolate lanyard from DCWV to attach our badges to and then you go around and collect the buttons and things from the booths.  I have one blinky one, a rubber one, a fabric one and the rest are the regular kind...but cute!  I also stood in line for about 25 minutes for a pink and chocolate bag from PROVO CRAFT.....what was I thinking....but you did get a tag with a number on it, and if you found your number match, you won another prize.....no matches for me though.  Oh, and the upside-down blue T-shirt in the background is from PAZZLES, I had to beg for that one!...lol

And a THANK YOU to CAROLYN for her award to me (and others on her blog)

I learned about a new scrapblog while at CHA called...get this...SCRAPBLOG.  I decided to check it out and made myself a little page. (which is below I think)  It is basically digital scrapbooking without loading things onto your computer, it's kinda fun  and pretty easy to play with.

I'm back.........

Well, I've been back since Sunday night, but this trip REALLY wore me out!!

Here is me, T!M and Leann (the boss) after our technique class....wow, the amount of product you get in one of those is AMAZING!  I think we walked away with 6 ink pads, 3 of the Dauber inks, 3 Paint pens, a Color Wash bottle (the big one), a paint pallet filled with alcohol ink, a mini Mister and more stuff I am forgetting.  A really nice class...and when you mess up and raise your hand, T!M comes over and helps you out....cool!

This year our trip downtown was to visit the COYOTE UGLY bar.  OK, it's just a bar with girls dancing around and very huge bouncers who are more then happy lift you onto the bar to dance with the girls.

Us girls at the bar.

Dawn, Annette, Carolyn and Leann

Me and Carolyn during the show....after she won her SLICE prize and before she won her ROCK, PAPER, TRIMMER from FISKARS.  You can't see my "LOVE MACHINE" t-shirt from Quik-Qutz under all that stuff on my hall pass....I was getting a lot of looks on the way home after we left the show floor....

Our hotel, The HYATT.  We were on the 9th Floor and the center was a huge atrium with two bar/restaurants on the lobby level, a little Starbucks and this center elevator shaft with 4 glass elevators.  Annette and Leann are actually on the elevator in this photo, I took the stairs. This was upon our return from Coyote Ugly.

 At 5pm when everyone is leaving the show floor the elevator lobby is FILLED with people waiting to get on, it's crazy!  It was funny to watch all these people stuff themselves into the glass elevators.  The show was a lot of fun and a lot of work.  Next year they are putting on the show in Orlando, so no more trips for me!  Darn, just when I was getting the hang of this location.

I will show more photos tomorrow

I have to take pictures of all my goodies!

I'm off

Storms are closing in and I must shut off the computer for the remainder of my time at home...see y'all after CHA!

Check out my bag below....I am lovin' it!

Carolyn, make sure your dancin' shoes are packed....well, at the very least some comfy walking shoes.!

my new bag

I haven't scrapped in a while, but I got this bag altered this afternoon so I had a purdy new bag to carry around at the show.  I took the "competitors" logo off the bag and replaced it with these nice green flowers and letters to spell out my name.  Fun, ya!

I might not update while I am gone so don't have too much fun without me.

One crazy weekend

Why can't I remember

to log out of my old account before I post at other people blogs??? grrr.  The only reason I moved to this new one was so I could do crafty stuff at the old address and not have my "profile" open to the  people who read my work blog.  and then I just can't remember to "log out" before heading off to my fun stuff.....

anyway, it's been a busy weekend, lot's of family stuff, birthday parties and run/walk events.  I will update a little later on those things...once I find my camera again and get photos loaded.  The family leaves later today so I will have time after that.

Such a nice weekend we are having in the weather department.  Stormy on Thursday/Friday, but Saturday and today are perfect!

Ok, chat later.

PAZZLES Projects

My vinyl Pazzles project, all I had to do it is come up with a cut file to use the vinyl product.  So I did one for each of the boys.  Quin's side
And Nick's side of the car.

It has been on the car since May and is still there, through car washes, rain storms and the hot sun.  Looks just like it does right there on the screen.

The vinyl is fun to work with.  Hopefully they get some nice colors in the packs when they finish development on these.

What I won't do... and other things

 Put on a silly hat....just for work....OK, so I actually did this...obviously.  I needed to post this at the "store" blog  for an example of what we are doing today at the store to jump start our A*MUSE A*PALOOZA event.  What we won't do.....

Here is Mr. Quin in the "SADDLE" at TEXAS ROADHOUSE on his birthday last week.  We got a genuine smile out of him this time!
